Cycle Showcase STL

Cycle Showcase STL returns for a fourth year with a new location, but the same old commitment to showcasing the artistry of motorcycles. More than 50 historic, hand-built bikes will be on display, with some motorcycle-related art mixed in as well. Vendors such as Imperial House (freehand pinstriping and lettering specialists) and Flying Tiger Motorcycles (Maplewood's home of old and new motorcycles and moto-culture accessories) will offer ready-to-buy gear, while the American Motor Drome Wall-of-Death riders will hourly steer vintage bikes into a massive, 30-foot-tall barrel to race along its inner wall while perpendicular to the ground. The stunt riders will sign autographs and pose for photos after each show. Cycle Showcase STL takes place from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday (March 31 and April 1) across the street from Paddy O's (618 South Seventh Street; www.cycleshowcasestl.com. Tickets are $10, and kids younger than twelve are free.
